I have some other thoughts that I would post if you sent me a private E-mail. (As is, your blogger profile doesn't allow response.)<BR/><BR/>Dear xxx (November 4th or so)<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to extend a note of thanks to you and the others who made the Capture Arkansas book possible. (If you could pass this note on to others on the Democrat Gazette side who made this work, I would be appreciative.)<BR/><BR/>The editors had a very tough job slogging through that much fine <BR/>photography. I must confess that there is a lot of stellar work that I saw during the contest that isn't in the book. But then you would have to double the size or price to include it. (I would even tell you that the picture I was awarded for one of one of my less favorites...I would have <BR/>given up that spot for a woman I met this Saturday who wasn't in the book and very much wanted to be there.) However, the book as a package is stunning. I see numerous places where the layout sings, and the choices in combination with each other make real sense. Capture Arkansas represents various facets of the state well, and I will be most pleased to give it as a <BR/>gift. (Actually, my mom will as she bought five copies.) It seems that those who made the final choices had high standards and placed a premium on photographic quality, sometimes over sentiment. I have yet to sit down for my extended DVD watch but am eager to see what is presented there.<BR/><BR/>I do not envy those who made the final decisions, but again, wanted to thank the DemGaz for their sponsorship. Perhaps you could make a second book or third book, given to smiling babies or waterfalls!<BR/><BR/>On the personal side, I appreciate the opportunity you gave me to present my photography to a larger audience. The contest has only wet my appetite to go try more of the kind of photography that made your pages. Beyond that, I <BR/>made several new friends.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Kirk JordanKirk Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478002114374876536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6204253019094206903.post-41613574169691804962008-11-10T15:53:00.000-06:002008-11-10T15:53:00.000-06:00Kirk, I was one of the admins for Capture Arkansas...Kirk, I was one of the admins for Capture Arkansas and I've been following up on the project by researching blogs to see how people have responded to the final project.
